Possible Buy/Sell

I'm looking at an older Italian steel bike with Campagnolo Mirage 2x8 and brifters. I probably won't buy it if I can't flip the Campagnolo stuff. Does that group have any value in the big world of old brifter things? As in can I expect to be able to sell it?

Thanks
Charlie

It doesn't have a ton of value realistically it was one of Campagnolo's lower end group sets but it is Campagnolo so someone might have interest. However keep in mind the components on the frame can also be a good indicator of the quality of the frame.

The used bike & parts market is down across the board. Demand is low and supply is sky-high. This applies to Campy and every other brand.

I wouldn't be buying any bikes right now with the idea of flipping the group. There's nothing left in the market to extract when supply is so high.

It's a primo frame that deserves way better components.
